Cochliobolus heterostrophus is an agriculturally important and emerging model pathogen for studying the signaling hierarchies' role during the maize host colonization. In particular, G-protein and MAPK-linked pathways...
G-protein-linked pathways have evolved to allow responses to extracellular agonists (hormones, neurotransmitters, odors, chemoattractants, light and nutrients) in eukaryotic cells, ranging from simpler systems, includ...
Phytopathogenic fungi are heterotrophic organisms that excrete a complex array of enzymes for digestion of plant host tissues. Regulation and coordination of extracellular enzyme production, according to growth condit...
Conserved eukaryotic signaling proteins participate in development and disease in plant pathogenic fungi. Mutants in CGA1, a heterotrimeric G protein Ga subunit gene of the maize pathogen Cochliobolus heterostrophus, ...
